Triple Bill by the Australian Youth Ballet Featuri

Triple Bill by the Australian Youth Ballet
Featuring Patricio Reve – Principal Artist, Queensland Ballet
Sunday, 15 June | Concourse Theatre

We are honoured to welcome Patricio Reve as a special guest for our Triple Bill season.

Born in Cuba, Patricio began his ballet training at just nine years old at the prestigious Fernando Alonzo Cuban Ballet School. His exceptional talent and dedication led him to join the Ballet Nacional de Cuba in 2015, where he was swiftly promoted to Principal Dancer in 2017. Patricio’s artistry has taken him around the globe, with international tours to Italy, Spain, France, the United States, Canada, and a special performance for the King in Cambodia.

In 2018, Patricio joined the Queensland Ballet as a Company Artist, and his commanding portrayal of Romeo in Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Romeo and Juliet saw him promoted to Soloist soon after. In 2021, he was elevated to Senior Soloist, and in 2022, to Principal Artist, a testament to his compelling stage presence and technical mastery.

His repertoire showcases his remarkable versatility and dramatic range, with lead roles including Des Grieux in Manon, Albrecht in Giselle, Prince Désiré in The Sleeping Beauty, Oberon in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and the Sugar Plum Prince in The Nutcracker. Patricio’s nuanced interpretations of these timeless roles have captivated audiences and critics alike.

Beyond his stage accomplishments, Patricio has been recognised for his exceptional talent, earning First Place at the Cuban Grande Prix and the Havana International Dancing Competition.

Triple Bill Program Highlights:
• La Bayadère, featuring Queensland Ballet Principal Artists Patricio Reve and Neneka Yoshida alongside our Australian Youth Ballet dancers
• Chaplin, choreographed by Mario Schröder, restaged exclusively for the Australian Youth Ballet
• Viaje de Sueños (Journey of Dreams), choreographed by Xanthe Geeves, returning after its acclaimed premiere at the Sydney Opera House

Sunday, 15 June | Concourse Theatre

We are honoured to welcome Neneka Yoshida as a special guest for our Triple Bill season.

Born in Kanazawa, Japan, Neneka began her dance journey at just three years old at the Keiko Miyanishi Ballet Studio. Her early promise took her across the world to Paris at 15, where she trained under the legendary Dominique Khalfouni and later joined the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, studying with ballet icons Claude de Vulpian and Celine Talon.
Neneka’s artistic journey has spanned continents, from further training with Fundacion Para la Danza in Spain to her move to Australia in 2014. She joined Queensland Ballet as a Jette Parker Young Artist, rising swiftly through the ranks to Principal Artist in 2021.

Her repertoire is a testament to her versatility and artistry, with lead roles in works such as Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon, Greg Horsman’s The Sleeping Beauty, Krzysztof Pastor’s Dracula, and Liam Scarlett’s The Firebird. Her interpretations of classical and contemporary ballets—including George Balanchine’s Serenade and Jiří Kylián’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen—have captivated audiences and critics alike.

Beyond her stage performances, Neneka’s talent has been recognised globally. She was awarded the Gold Medal at the Concours International de Danse de Biarritz, the Gold Medal at the Concours International Chausson d’Or in 2012, and was a finalist at the prestigious Prix de Lausanne in 2013.
